The University of Jaén (Spanish:UJA; ''Universidad de Jaén''; Latin: ''Universitas Giennensis'') is a public research university based in Jaén, Andalucía, Spain.

Founded by the Andalusian Parliament through Act 05/1993 (BOE-A-1993-21945) in 1993 with the stated mission to promulgate and educate future generations of economists, health professionals, engineers and scientists.

It's regarded as the successor to the ancient University of Baeza, established in 1538 by Pope Paul III in the former Kingdom of Jaén.

Considered part of the University of Granada up until its formal creation, the research institution inherits some of the research and development centres and experimental sciences laboratories. In addition to the principal campus, Lagunillas Campus, the university has two satellite environments, the Scientific-Technological Campus in Linares and the "Sagrada Familia" learning facility in Úbeda. Currently under construction is the Advanced Clinical Simulation Center.

According to the ''Times Higher Education'' Impact Rankings published in 2021, the institution remains as one of the 100 best universities to adhere to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals highlighting research, stewardship, outreach and teaching. Recently, the UJA has been ranked as one of the top 250 young Universities according to THE Young Universities ranking, evaluating institutions with less than 50 years of existence.
